ECMlink Resolved: Meth Injection or Head Studs

well it cant hurt to undo what you did and see what happens

So I just figured this out, wasn't mechanical or electrical... I think ecmlink was caching something in memory that needed to be cleared out.

I swapped injectors.and put the old electrical stuff back but nothing worked, car still misfired on 4.

But... I noticed that when I hit the rev limiter 3 times it went passed the Rev limiter to 5k then 6k then 7k ect.
This was odd because the software wasn't doing its job, my rev limit at idle is 4500. Made me.think about what areas I touched in ecmlink.

I went to the fps tab and checked the box that said enable normal factory settings. I did this because this was the only software section was playing with.

The car was magically fixed! No more misfire,.runs like it did previously.

I then unchecked the boxed and to my surprise the car continued to run perfectly and the rev limiter started to work like it should.

I think ecmlink was caching something in memory that caused it to confuse the entire system. I probably could have accomplished the same thing by disconnecting the battery cables as well.

Very very wierd but glad it's fixed...
